According to research by David Spragg, the Nevada mold was designed by Bud Jones
in the mid 1960's and chips were manufactured on the mold by the Burt Company.
Interestingly, the casino did not have to be located in Nevada in order to use the
Nevada mold for their chips. Probably the most famous use of the Nevada mold was
on the series of commemorative Las Vegas casino chips created by Bill Borland. A few
Nevada mold favorites are pictured below - please post examples from your collection -
